GLAZING POINT Filed Sept. 4, 1962 INVENTOR.

United States Patent 3,241,425 GLAZIN G POINT George Mangerian, 7621 Hancock St., Everett, Mass. Filed Sept. 4, 1962, Ser. No. 221,269 3 Claims. (CI. 85-15) This invention relates to a glazing point.

One object of my invention is to provide a glazing point with a putty retainer whereby putty extending into and also through the latter will keep the glazing point in position against the window glass.

Another object is to provide said glazing point with a putty retainer having open-mesh material whereby putty in the retainer and on the window glass will firmly hold the glass to the window sash.

A further object is to provide a glazing point formed in two parts which can quickly and inexpensively be assembled, one part forming a penetrating member and the other part a putty retainer.

The foregoing and other objects which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, may be accomplished by a construction, combination and arrangement of parts such as is disclosed by the drawing. The nature of the invention is such as to render it susceptible to various changes and modifications, and, therefore, I am not to be limited to the construction disclosed by the drawing nor to the particular parts described in the specification; but am entitled to all such changes therefrom as fall within the scope of my claims.

In the drawing:

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of my glazing point.

FIG. 2 is a side elevational view thereof.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary, longitudinal sectional view showing a glazing point in position of use holding a window glass to a Window sash.

FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of a modified form of my glazing point.

FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of the glazing point shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 6 is an end elevational view of the latter glazing point.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged, fragmentary, front elevational view showing the glazing points of FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 in position of use holding a window glass to a window sash.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a modified form of glazing point in partly assembled position.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the latter said modified form of glazing point in fully assembled position.

As illustrated, in said FIG. 1 my glazing point has a jagged or multiple-toothed penetrating member 10 having a connecting shank 12 at one end. A putty retainer 14, of open-work material, such as wire mesh or screening, has a hole 16 therethrough intermediate its sides into which said shank 12 extends and is tightly held as by friction fit. Said putty retainer 14 is triangularly-shaped in side elevation. It extends diagonally from its thinnest extremity towards said penetrating member 10 as shown, so that its maximum thickness is reached where said member 10 enters, as shown in said FIGS. 2 and 3.

As shown in said FIG. 3, said member 10 penetrates the window sash S, and its multiple-toothed side assures firm retention therein. Said putty retainer 14 fits in the usual jog or recess in the sash S to receive putty, lying against the window glass G. Putty is forced into and also "ice through the open spaces in the open mesh of the retainer 14 on opposite sides of said shank 12, into firm contact with said glass G.

In said FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 a penetrating member 18 has a right-angled, attaching portion 20 to the thick end of which an open-mesh, putty retainer 22 is attached as by cementing or spot welding.

In said FIGS. 8 and 9 a penetrating member 24 has a displaced or upset tongue portion 26 extending diagonally from the main body of said member 24 thereby leaving a space 28 between said main body and tongue portion 26. Into said space a putty retainer 30 of wire mesh extends and it is pressed firmly against the main body of said member 24 to hold it. This retainer 30 is in flat sheet form and may be of one or more thicknesses.

Said putty retainers 14 and 22, are preferably hollow so that putty may readily pass into the interior thereof and also through it onto the glass G. In FIGS. 8 and 9, however, the putty retainer 30 is preferably flat so that it can be firmly held against the penetrating member 24. In either event the putty extends continuously from outside the openwork of a retainer to said glass G, thereby holding the glazing point firmly in position against said glass.

All of the putty retainers preferably extend laterally beyond the sides of said penetrating member.

What I claim is:

1. A glazing point comprising a flat, pointed penetrating member and a wire-mesh putty retainer triangularly-shaped in side elevation and attached to said penetrating member having a hole therethrough at its thickest portion, said member extending into said hole and retained therein, said retainer extending laterally beyond the opposite sides of said penetrating member.

2. A glazing point comprising a fiat, pointed penetrating member embodying an upset tongue portion extending towards the end that is opposite to said point and outwardly of and spaced from the main body of said member, and a wire-mesh putty retainer in the space between said upset portion and said main body, said putty retainer extending laterally beyond opposite sides of said penetrating member.

3. A glazing point comprising a pointed, penetrating member having a right-angled, attaching portion, and a triangular, wire-mesh, putty retainer bonded to the latter and extending outwardly therefrom.
